Back when we measured our cell phone plans in minutes, and when even 3G connections felt fast, text messages were a huge business for wireless carriers and a huge expense for anyone whose kids learned to T9-type just a little too quickly. Then BlackBerry, nearing the peak of its powers, did something remarkable: it cut the carriers out entirely.

Brits are sitting on a hidden goldmine of old forgotten tech devices that may be gathering dust in the attic, according to a new report from Gumtree. The online marketplace has released its first 'Pre-Owned Price Index', which reveals how much sellers could earn from second-hand tech and household items.
